Maybe he's referring to the "NO IRISH" part? Gotta love vague OPs.

Reminds me of the mix up when some dude in Australia meant No Agents but it was in the paper & reported on TV news as No Asians.
There's a vid of the Dude saying No agents a few times & it does sound like he is saying No Asians.

No, Zefan's response was the joke.

No I saw that, but I still can't see what the problem is.

Bad workmanship last time around.

OP are you looking for some work to be done down Perth way?

 

[pingwing]

Badly tarmacked drives?

Horses running through council estates?

The blarney stone?

 

[Arnie]

Do we really care about some random building firm in Australia?

Ha no Australia doesn't appeal to me. Plus the quality of my bricklaying I imagine will be worse than an Irishman's
